Awesome work. Though I question using pot in the name. While the reason for developing this may have been growing pot indoors, it's likely useful for anyone growing any type of plants. With automated watering alone, it makes it a lot more viable for pretty much anyone to grow a few plants indoors. Speaking of which...does it support individual moisture sensors for pots? So you can tell when they need to be watered? Or individual servos to control the flow of water? I suppose even if it doesn't, it wouldn't be that hard to modify, given it's arduino.

Introducing Sensi-Pot Open Source Automation Hardware for Indoor Gardening
Yeah, so the name refers to the fact that in the end you will be able to use a gardening pot loaded with sensors for automating. sensi = sensors. It's a nice play on words. ;) I'd like to make available 3d printable casings for the electronics, and of course one case will simply be a garden pot.
This environment controller is only the first thing to come out. There will be automated watering, nutrient regulation, PH testing, EC/PPM testing, etc. The works. I have soil sensors almost done. They come out next. Plus the Environment Controller already has a bunch of upgrades lined up. I also plan to make available complete kits that include all the electrical components so that all you need is a soldering iron and a few hours.
